The French housekeeper delights in
her afternoon "cigarette. The sonora
OF Barcelona loves in the evening to
wrap her black crepe around her head,
anil while gently putting her long to-
bacco cigarette cast heart-thrilling
glances from her balcony above the
walks at the wights below. While the
German frau is fond .,of her cigarette,
or even cigar, and the Russian wife is
not far behind her in the enjoyment of
the weed, and even the Japanese, Chi
nese, Tartar, Dutch, and Soudanese
wives all like to let the tobacco smoke
curl from their pretty mouths toward
the sky, the Italian signora is, perhaps,
the mostpassionately fond of the long,
thin cigar of the country called the
Virginia" It is no uncommon sight
of summer evening to see party of
ladies sitting in some cool terrace over
looking the sea on the campagna, while
the music of their velvety language
keeps tune to the soft sploshing of the
sea against the rocky shore, and send
rings of smoke from their fragrant
cheroots.- albany Journal.

IN "-1dyamceet" Opinion.

The equal education of women, says
writer in the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, means her equality in the
learned professions and her equal oc-
cupation OF them. It means that mar
riage, maternity, and housekeeping are
not to be her profession. In the
natural order this will evolve new
and higher order Of women, emanci-
pated from all that domestic service
which is peculiar to her sex, and free
OF al its impediments to al intellectual,
political, or professional career. In the
intellectual quality it may be like that
social order of the Athenian women in
whom the statesmen, philosophers,
poets, and artists found high intel
lectual society. In the like Athenian
manner it may relegate the offices of
wifehood, maternity, and domesticity
to the order of uneducated women, who
have kept to this pursuit, and whose
capabilities for perpetuating the race
in physical and mental stamina have
not been impaired by the grinding out
of the years of ripening womanhood by
the confinement and nervous exhaustion
of the collegiate studies

Partisan Worl.i,,y omen.

Partisan women, as we know from
certain popular ebullitions which have
taken place even in our time, have
often been very dangerous persons to
deal with, says the London Telegraph.
BY the formation of a sy1ldicat des
.fen1mes, OF women's guide, they now
threaten to become more formidable
than ever. The foundations of this
new and remarkable institution were
laid by about fifty danes catssieres,
or lady cashiers, shop women, clear
starchers, cooks, and female "helps"
generally. Citizen Chabert, veteran
revolutionist, is the chief organizer of
the association, and his observations
on the occasion of the first meeting of
the sy71dicat des .femmes, in pub
lie hall situated in the Rue Palestre,
are worth rccapitulation. Having drawn
an elaborate picture Of the freedom of
the American woman, "who goes every
where just like man," he adjures his
feminine hearers to sink all petty
jealousies, and to model their corpora
ton on the workmen's syndicates,
eschewing politics as much as possible.
est. Thomas Aquinas," continued the
ex- Communist, "made mistake when
he said that women were Intellectually
inferior to men" The citizens per-
sonal experience proved to him the
fallacy of the sweeping statement made
by the canonized doctor, for he had
himself, during the course of long
life, been frequently bowled out of the
way by women. After these remarks
now adhesions were received to the
syndicate, which promises to become q
fourishing institution among the thou
sands of female toilers, whose numbers
are annually increasing in the French
| CAPITAL.

authorities would want q certificate

thing to do with the case. They'd
consider that reasonable ground to sup

VOn't DO H0tGSesC0rk,

It often seems to me that the esti-
mable ladies who are always urging,
and with many good arguments, that
young girls thrown upon themselves
for support, should choose housework
rather than the factory, miss the most
important point in the whole affair.
Those who refuse homework in this
form do it, not because they dread
work for they usually work harder else
where nor because housework seems
degrading, because they have almost
all helped their mothers to do it, and
they probably expect to do it for
themselves when they are married.
There is nothing that the ladies who
advise them can say about it which has
any effect upon their minds because
the, main points so often left untouched.
The thing that really influences
them is the dislike-which they share
with dukes and duchesses-of having
social superiors.
Say what you please, they are not
made conscious, in the life of factory
operatives or "sales ladies" of having
distinct social superiors, whereas every
day of domestic service seems to imply
the distinct and formal recognition of
such superiority. The more distin ct
the recognition, the less it is liked. To
be help" in farmers family, eating
at the family table and coming in at
the same door, reduces this sense of So
cial inferiority to the smallest point,
or extinguishes it altogether. Nor is
there much of it in the rural hotel,
where the life Of the hired men and
girls is thing by itself, and no sense
OF actual inferiority is pressed on them,
Then, there are many families where
tone Of kindly friendliness prevails,
and excludes all oppressive sense of
social superiors; and if all families were
like this, there would be much less
scarcity of "living-out girls" as they
like to call themselves. But just in
proportion as distinctions become
greater to anything that implies social
lnferlority, it sin vain to tell those
thus situated that labor is honorable
and household labor especially SO, to
say that a good servant ranks higher
than good factory hand, and SO on.
The ladies who say this fail to convince
others because they do not really con-
vince themselves. This is the real
difficulty.

PRESSING BUSINESS.

A Chicago man, in attempting to
jump on closing bridge, had both legs
broken. When he had been taken to a

"That's the way with our Chicago
people, said the physician, addressing
some one who stood near. every
thing is sacrificed upon the altar OF

has given Chicago an advanced position
among the great cities of the world.

wounded man, "you did not stop to con-

"Wonderful people, SIR" said the
physician, again addressing the by
stander. "And, turning to the wounded
man, "you would have rushed i'll front

II guess I would, sir.
"What business was it that could not
allow you to wait a few moments until
the bridge could be closed?"
"Well, you see a Teller named Jim
had jest opened new saloon, an
tapped key of free beer, an put out
lunch, an knowed that if I didn't
hustle the fellers would get away with
it all, an I didn't have time to wait TO,

after ripping the coffin plate off and
putting it in my pocket as evidence. 1

and that the old woman had put on the
remains pair of hose all worn out at

Physical Culture for Woa,,c,A

It is now fashionable for women of
society, says writer in the Philadel-
phia Press, to look sturdy and strong
and in perfect health. Physical culture
is one of the amusements of the fash
ionable world. The passing fever of
feminine enthusiasm, slow to rouse but
tenacious OF its idol during the period
OF its idolatry, has kindled and died
out many times, but this once believe
it is destined TO burn with steady
glow, for this time it has an abundance
OF fuel to feed it. Physical culture
that means a gymnasium Of course, a
gymnastic suit in which one can look
much prettier, because freer and less
restrained, than out of it, and sys-
tematic exercise for the wholesome de-
velopment Of the body.
"What do 1 do?" said q fresh
Tipped girl with blowing hair and wind
reddened cheeks the other day. "In the

With message told i'll perfunod breath,

But her delights Of form md hue

Only with wondering thoughts they boar
Rehearsed the slories of tho year,
And dilnly seek their doubtful way.
Untutored by the smilo OF day,
While we. the prodignls of light.

Dead fate in solitude to sit.
Unconscious of the clouds that fit,

Nor sunsets varying lluos withdrawn,
Nor stars with which, above, around.
The majesty Of night is crowned;
But heaven that secs this painful doom
Has still some flower of choicest bloom.
Has still some gem OF priceless worth,
For those inheritors Of earth.
For them may wisdom spread her page,
Bequelthing wealth from ago to age;
